Single Ventricle Circulation

This is a model of circulation throughout the three stages of surgical palliation for patients with single ventricle physiology. Designed for medical students and anyone interested in congenital heart defects, it allows the user to experiment with different common surgical procedures and medical treatments, to observe the effects on clinical measures like blood pressures and oxygen delivery, and displays of blood pressure and flow waveforms.

The underlying lumped parameter model is that of the Politecnico di Milano group.
